From the Test Kitchen
- Tip To Present This As a Gift:You will need a knife; small, fresh pumpkin; spoon; hand drill; wire-edge ribbon; and small clear glass bowl. Cut the top off the pumpkin, leaving an opening slightly smaller than the rim of the bowl. Scoop out the insides with a spoon. Use a hand drill to make holes around the rim, approximately 1-1/2 inches from the top edge. Twist together the wires at one end of the ribbon. Weave ribbon through drilled holes. Knot ends together. Trim ribbon ends, if needed. Place bowl in pumpkin and fill with cream cheese.
- Tip Also Try This:Instead of drilling the holes, attach the ribbon with gold-colored thumbtacks.
